Question

Can I print booklets with different paper for the cover and interior?

Answer

Yes, mixing stocks is one of the most common ways to make a booklet feel polished without adding much cost. The usual approach pairs a sturdier cover with lighter interior pages.

  • Cover: a heavier, often coated stock protects the booklet and gives it a premium feel.
  • Interior: a lighter text-weight stock keeps the piece from getting bulky or expensive.
  • Why it works: you get a substantial first impression while holding down weight and mailing cost.
  • Common on: catalogs, programs, and lookbooks where the cover does the heavy lifting.
